0.79 Ct. Madeira (Reddish Orange) Citrine from Brazil

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present one beautiful transparent 0.79 carat oval shape madeira citrine, dimensions 7.35 x 5.31 x 3.34 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish. This stone shows a medium color intensity in a reddish orange Madeira tone, the color reminiscent of aged Madeira wine rather than the pale yellow typical of many citrines. Clarity is described as very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem when set, and the stone exhibits strong transparency and clean face up appearance. The gem has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement for citrine that produces consistent and permanent color improvement, and the material is sourced from Brazil, a long established and reputable origin for high quality citrines.

For an educated buyer comparing hue and tone to gemstones from other famous locations, this Madeira citrine occupies a distinct niche between more common Brazilian golden citrines from Minas Gerais and the deeper, rarer red orange tones of Imperial topaz from Ouro Preto Brazil. Compared with spessartine or mandarin garnets, often sourced from East Africa and Nigeria, this citrine displays warmer, softer orange with less overt saturation and a more wine like tone, while garnets show a more vivid and electric orange tone with higher refractive sparkle. Against padparadscha sapphires from Sri Lanka, which present a delicate pink orange blend and higher refractive brilliance, this citrine reads as warmer and more brown orange, offering greater affordability with stable color after heat treatment. Compared to Mexican fire opal, which can display an intense, fiery translucence and play of color, the Madeira citrine is more brilliant in faceted light return and more predictable in daily wear. For collectors and jewelry designers, the combination of a true Madeira hue, eye level very very slight inclusions, precise mixed brilliant cutting, excellent polish, and Brazilian origin delivers both aesthetic appeal and market sensibility, making this stone a valuable choice for refined jewelry, investment pieces, or a curated collection.
